May be stored at 4 degree C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degree C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.

Other Notes

Small volumes of anti-CSF1R antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

Macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF, CSF-1) receptor is an integral membrane tyrosine kinase encoded by the c-fms proto-oncogene. MCSF receptor is expressed in monocytes (macrophages and their progenitors) and drives growth and development of this blood cell lineage.. Binding of M-CSF to its receptor induces receptor dimerization, activation and autophosphorylation of cytoplasmic tyrosine residues used as docking sites for SH2-containing signaling proteins. There are at least five major tyrosine autophosphorylation sites. Tyrosine 723 (Tyr721 in mouse) is located in the kinase insert (KI) region. Phosphorylated tyrosine 723 binds the p85 subunit of PI3 kinase as well as PLC-gamma2. Phosphorylation of Tyr809 provides a docking site for Shc.. Overactivation of this receptor can lead to a malignant phenotype in various cell systems. The activated MCSF receptor has been shown to be a predictor of poor outcome in advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma and breast cancer.

Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunocytochemistry and ELISA.Dilution: Western Blot: 0.1-0.2ug/ml Detects mouse M-CSFR at ~5ng/lane under non-reducing and reducing conditions.Immunocytochemistry: 5-15ug/mlELISA (Direct): 0.5-1ug/ml. The detection limit is ~0.5ng/well.

Proto-oncogene c-Fms

The protein encoded by this gene is the receptor for colony stimulating factor 1, a cytokine which controls the production, differentiation, and function of macrophages. This receptor mediates most if not all of the biological effects of this cytokine. Ligand binding activates the receptor kinase through a process of oligomerization and transphosphorylation. The encoded protein is a tyrosine kinase transmembrane receptor and member of the CSF1/PDGF receptor family of tyrosine-protein kinases. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a predisposition to myeloid malignancy. The first intron of this gene contains a transcriptionally inactive ribosomal protein L7 processed pseudogene oriented in the opposite direction. [provided by RefSeq]

UniProt Comments for CSF1R

CSFR: an oncogenic tyrosine kinase receptor for CSF-1 (M-CSF). Drives growth and development of monocytes. Binding of CSF-1 induces receptor dimerization, activation and autophosphorylation of cytoplasmic tyrosine residues used as docking sites for SH2-containing signaling proteins. There are at least five major tyrosine autophosphorylation sites. Two point mutations seen in 10-20% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia or myelodysplasia. One mutation appears to be both somatic and germline, and disrupts Cbl binding and receptor turnover. v-fms lacks the Cbl binding site and causes feline leukemia. Mutations may also develop after chemotherapy for lymphoma. A distinct point mutation was found in some cases of hepatocellular carcinoma and related to increased expression, and another mutation was found in 2 of 40 patients with idiopathic myelofibrosis. Expression is elevated in breast tumors and cell lines, and expression in xenografts and transgenic mice has been correlated with xenograft growth and breast cancer development. Inhibitors: Ki-20227 and other Kit/PDGFR inhibitors.
